English: When sunbeams reach the forest floor, when winter aconites and crocuses begin to blossom, and when young girls on bicycles in skimpy skirts pose traffic hazard for hormone bubbly young men with their eyes elsewhere than on the traffic, then you know for sure that spring has arrived!
At this time of the year it is time for beer lovers to leave the heavy and dark beers in the fridge, and start looking for lighter beers. This “Spring Beer” from Amager Bryghus is a “Bière de Garde” type of beer, which is full of spicy flowers and pollen tones. Rich malt with notes of caramel and dry hopping ensure that the beer isn’t at all too sweet.
Bière de Garde actually means "beer for storage" but never mind that we say as our “Spring Beer” must be enjoyed here and now. We dare you… you can hardly resist if you are as excited as we are that springtime has finally come!

Clean enough golden body with off white head. Not quite as aromatic as expected, I expected a more pronounced yeast from longer fermentation. However, the malts are clearly quality stuff and a fitting albeit not terribly challenging bitterness is provided by the classic style hops. Very fine mouth feel, as it should with this style, but again not a perfect yeast development. Pleasant beer, but its weakness is in that once you go hop you never go back I’m afraid. (50cl bottle from Beer City)

Almost clear amber beer with a decent lasting beige head. Aroma is mostly rye, as is the taste. I like rye in beer so that’s a pro. It’s spicy and flowery and has a nice bitter. And it’s something different, another pro!
